    Abstract: A turbine engine airfoil and method of cooling includes an outer wall defining an exterior surface bounding an interior and defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a chord-wise direction and extending between a root and a tip to define a span-wise direction. The airfoil can also include at least one cooling conduit and an impingement zone located within the at least one cooling conduit.

    Abstract: An optical monitoring system includes a controller configured to determine a predicted status of a component based on an operational time of a rotary machine and an individual model. The controller is also configured to receive a first signal indicative of an infrared spectrum image of the component from one or more cameras. Further, the controller is configured to determine a current status of the component based on the first signal and compare the current status to the predicted status of the component. Additionally, the controller is configured to update the predicted status of the component such that the predicted status matches the current status of the component and update at least one parameter of the individual model of the component based on the comparison.
